There is a common myth that mold and mildew grow only in humid climates and in old houses. Not so. Humidity of course is required for mold to grow, but you could be living in the Mohave Desert and still have to tear your house down because of harmful toxins from mold.

A home in Lake Havasu City, one of the hottest and driest regions in the United States, can attract mold, mildew and dry rot because of the hot temperatures beating down on their roofs all year round. The heat builds up underneath the roof, the central air generates a lot of energy and drives even more heat up into the attic, and if that attic is not vented, then you have just created a mini rainforest in the middle of one of the largest deserts in the world. To prevent black mold, keep your home dry and have your roof and attic inspected.
